Answer:

C: It is the difference between the total kinetic and potential energy in a system

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is stored energy while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.... This is not the same as the object's total energy, which would be the sum of all forms of its energy, including thermal, chemical and so on. The type of potential energy stored in molecular bonds is a form of energy called chemical energy.

Hope this helps
